AuthorTopic: What are the Real total Costs for Aconcagua? (Read 6628 times)

I noticed the 2000~ all inclusive price for Aconcagua and the prices on other climbs, but what does it really cost for everything including buying the extreme gear, flying to Argentina, Cost while there, permits, etc. I am just wondering about an average cost per person for everything. I am several years off from being prepared for any of the big ones, but I am starting to strongly consider doing at least one or in about two to three years. Thanks, I am just trying to get a solid idea. Scott

hey scott,thanks for your message; total costs are hard to tell, especially the gear is expensive, if you have to buy this from scratch it can cost you between $1000 and $3000, depening on your choice and wishes. And ofcourse if you already have some stuff...If you join a guided group you do no have to buy stuff like tents, ropes, stoves etc.Flights are ofcourse totally dependent on where you coming from, but from most places in the world you should be able to get to argentina or chili for about $1000-$1400 maxPermit is max 300 depending on the dates.

I cannot be more specific I am afraid.

good luck and keep climbing,

Harry
